It's Friday. It's July. Does anyone really want to be working?
The answer is no. But if you're forced to work on a beautiful summer Friday afternoon (like myself), you're probably not firing on all cylinders.

Because we love to hate typos (or hilarious autocorrects?), we need to bring your attention to a tweet from the The Boston Globe on Friday.
Ed Reinhold, FBI, says FBI has investifarted about 70 leads already. Live Video: http://t.co/nXuiv3rwFm— The Boston Globe (@BostonGlobe) July 17, 2015
"Ed Reinhold, FBI, says FBI has investifarted about 70 leads already," the Globe tweeted (emphasis ours), proving that every mature adult still finds fart jokes funny. The tweet was in response to an investigation following a shooting in Tennessee on Thursday, when four Marines were killed.
The Globe responded with a tongue-in-cheek tweet including another typo:
As policy we does not delete typographical errors on Twitter, but do correct #investifarted https://t.co/lT5Bz7WP6f https://t.co/x4UGGA3RSE— The Boston Globe (@BostonGlobe) July 17, 2015
Cue the fart jokes. (Or attempts at fart jokes.)

Just more than an hour after the tweet went up, #Investifarted was trending in the United States.
Now go look outside. Actually stop reading this article and go outside.
